Thank you. Well, since there don’t seem to be any known therapeutics for at home use, we really didn’t discuss treatment. Based on my health profile and my symptoms she said she thought I would be okay, that days 5-9 seem to be the worse, and I was on day 9 with the visit. I use a neti pot and also saline nasal spray (nasal irrigation) to get relief from the pressure in the nose. Tylenol helps with the fever spikes and headache. The couple of times i tried to wear a bra, I found myself ripping it off because you already feel like there is a tight belt around you. Standing and lying down are more comfortable than sitting, particularly slouching, because airflow is better. When lying on your back, if you cross your arms up above your head on the pillow (not up in the air) it helps open airway. Unlike with other infections, my fever spikes tend to be in the morning, although I had a second one late yesterday afternoon. Drinking cold ice water helps because my mouth is always hot. Looking in the mirror does not help. The face looking back at me has glassy bloodshot eyes and dark circles below. My tree-filled back yard is my sanctuary. The fact that it is spring time helps because i can shuffle outside and smell my gardenias and confederate jasmine and watch everything in my vegetable garden in the sunny corner maturing and growing . I never lost ability to smell and taste.
